High impact information on exo2
- S. pombe exo2 null mutants were cold-sensitive for growth, had increased cell size at the restrictive temperature, were hypersensitive to the mitotic inhibitor thiabendazol and to caffeine, and died rapidly in stationary phase [1].
- In contrast, the exo2 mutation had only a moderate effect on progression through meiosis and no significant effect on meiotic recombination [1].
